Her (totally correct) reasoning for why she knew none of them were a birthday present is that her birthday isn't for another 3 months and there's no way in hell I would have planned that far ahead. The other thing that wouldn't be obvious without an explanation is that if I emphatically deny something but don't offer an alternative explanation, it means I'm lying. Which I only do about inconsequential things that I know she'll immediately identify (did you eat the entire quiche that I made, did you forget about the cats and leave them in the garage all night, did you start drinking before noon, again, etc). We might know each other a little too well.

You can tell a box is lego just by picking it up too. Nothing else rattles like that.

This is why I buy Lego on the weekend while my wife is at work and smuggle it into the house like I'm bringing meth across the border. In reality, as long as I'm not buying more guns she probably doesn't care.

Tell her there was a sale on skittles or m&ms and it was too good to pass up, and that's the sound she hears!

It's just they tend to be too expensive. Too expensive to do as basically a 3d jigsaw puzzle. If Lego was half the price, I am sure I would buy more than twice as much.

Do what one of my friends does then: if it's an expensive set he doesn't want to use for parts, then build it, display it for a bit and then sell it off. He gets the pleasure and experience of building cool sets but doesn't have to worry about storage, and he also doesn't have to worry about spending too much as he gets most of the money back in resale. Hell, if it's an old set he gets from a bulk lot then he makes money off it.

What do you mean 'recently'? Lego has had shooting guns since 1989 with the cannons on pirate ships. To be fair, it's gotten more common in recent years

I mean those stupid ones that look like a modified megaphone and fire round flat pieces. They put them on the batmobile for example. Those just suck. The cannons on my 80s black seas barracuda rock because they look like actual cannons.

The simplest solution is mine: Get everything you buy online sent to your workplace. It's worked for me except another car: "honey, can you catch the bus and drive my car home, also I have something to tell you" It's right up there with our accent barrier when I was mumbling about buying a speedboat while going through the local trading paper. She heard 'goat' and piped up "OMG GET IT! It's cheap! We can have a space in the yard just for it, and I promise to help out" - THAT seemed like a loving trap.

Nobody here is as bad as that reddit wacko who has spent $36,000 on funko pops and now has a contract with his wife for buying more. And the contract has so many loopholes and exceptions it might as well not exist.

Straight White Shark posted:how's the goat doing So you got that. Yes we got the goat, it was good cos I didnt have to mow the lawn much, but it's more happy being a dick on my grandparents farm. Whenever I visit and see 'Vincent' it's one of those soclose.jpg things. My last boat was ammo for her: It was called 'Cap Sized' and lived up to it's name being small and loving sinking. I know a guy with a yacht named 'Avingot' and I wish I was that witty. He owns a cattle station a few thousand km from open water and bought it. It means 'Haven't got a clue'.

Hermsgervørden posted:Just curious, how many sets a year do you average? Depends on the lineup. When the lego movie came out I got drat near everything that came out that year. In 2017 I bought/received like 6 sets total as it was kind of a wimpy year. I never get UCS or modulars, I don't like stuff that will sit on my shelf forever.
